Dishwasher, dull as...
...but more potentially hazardous as a faulty tumble dryer.
My colleagues have a rental car. But, oh dear, what a thing of woe it is.
It is a Chevrolet Aveo in basic Mexican spec - no electric windows, no central locking, no power steering, no air bags. The list of 'no' is longer than the list of 'got'.
But it has an automatic transmission, 5 seats, air conditioning, a large boot and its cheap. These factors being more important than all others to local buyers on a budget.

"Remember the Chevrolet Aveo? Well, it has been Mexico’s best-selling car for quite a while, and it was recently named the country’s most dangerous vehicle by a Latin American auto safety group. The title comes as a result of the vehicle scoring zero starts out of a possible five in recent crash safety tests conducted in Mexico.
But given that the Aveo starts at 134,800 Mexican Pesos, or roughly $8,000 USD, the results shouldn’t be too surprising. After all, the Aveo doesn’t even have airbags in the Mexican market, and the vehicle on which it is based (or shall we say, the vehicle that the Aveo is a rebadge of) — the Daewoo Kalos T200 — was released in 2002. After 14 years on the market, the equivalent of centuries in the rapidly-changing automotive landscape, the Aveo has received a few changes and enhancements here and there, but nothing that would drastically change or improve its performance in safety tests or real-world accidents.
Speaking of, the safety tests in question were conducted by the Latin New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The organization operates throughout Latin America with the objective of improving occupant protection and car safety."
